We had 10 PAX for a modified version of the F3 Cardinal VQ Workout in memory of Taylor Phelps.

Seeing no FNG’s I gave a brief disclaimer and we headed toward the picnic shelter. Nonetheless, we saw Leppard in his truck changing so we played ring around the rosy with him until he started the car.

Leppard and Tonka would join us a few minutes later for Warm Up.

WARM UP:
15 SSH IC
10 Tempo Merkins
10 Fluter Kicks IC
10 Little Baby Arm Circles (forward and reverse) IC
10 Hallelujah (Air Presses).

Prior to the beatdown, I read off a quick bio of Taylor (F3 Cardinal) Phelps. He was 36 years old and was a pastor at Carney Ford Baptist Church. His wife had posted that he struggled with loneliness, until he found F3. She said he became a new man and was very happy.

CARDINAL Workout of the Day: (Perform 36 reps of the called exercise, and then take a lap)
C – Clerkins (merkin with a clap)
A – Amercian Hammers (count one side only)
R – Rockette Dips (count one side only on the kick)
D – Derkin
I – Imperial Squat Walkers (count the squat)
N – Nolan Ryan (count one side only)

L – Lunge (count one side only)

Time was up and we headed back to COT.  Great work men.
